    Hey Everyone! Just finished my workout! I did C/S/T and as usual it was a killer! My whole upper body was burning!!! It was a great feeling! Then I did a 21 minute ab workout! It was great because my abs were screaming but I just kept pushing it hard!

    Tomorrow I am doing 1 on 1 Yoga and 10 min Core Cardio!

    Well Recovery Drink is done and I need to hit the shower..

    Tena. Thanks for the encouragement. But I have to correct one thing.


    "Fairborn: Everyone burns calories at a different rate! I tend to burn high like you! We are really blessed to have such a high calorie burn. Way to go on losing 9 lbs in 2 wks. That is truly awesome and amazing! I am so proud of you! The way you are going, you will definitely reach your goal! Keep it up girl! "




    lol.. Im a man. I just realized though looking through this thread that i might be the only man here so I can see how you would assume im a woman. No ofense taken.

    Tena - Great workout!!! How long will it take for me not to hurt as much doing these workouts? My legs are burning still from plyo and now my arms are so weak from the back and chest workout. Were you able to do all those pushups on p90x at first, I really have a hard time with the diamond and the dive bombers... I think I did 5 only.

    Fairborn - hehe sorry I assumed the same thing. We are glad we have a man on the thread now to give some variety. My hubby started p90x on monday and it is actually nice that we are able to do something like this together.

    Sara_rojo- which program did you order again?

    Well last night hubby and I did chest and back together.. man those pushups are ridiculous. We dont have a chin up bar yet so we used the bands hung from the ceiling and I didnt find that callenging enough, even sitting on the floor and shortening the bands up... dh said he will make some chin up bars this weekend. I really suck at pushups though, I hope someday I can say I did 20 of each one of them, but the only ones that I could actually do 10-20 of were teh normal pushups and the wide pushups. Put I know it takes time and to keep trying and trying and eventually I will succeed.

    OH after a really good workout where your whole body hurts, has any of you gained weight in the am? I gained 2lbs today but I am hoping it is from water retention or muslce build since I had a hard time getting my wedding rings on.

    Wow, reading all of your results, is pretty amazing. I have a friend doing this program, and in the time he's done it, I've noticed a difference. Pretty awesome!
    So much so he has me asking about it now.
    We have a extern in our office who is doing the P90X, and each day she is aching in a different area. I might just have to borrow these discs to check it out.
    I only want to lose 20-25 lbs, and tone up.I certainly hope that in the end, I can say this worked for me too!
    Currently I go to the gym 3x a week, and do 30-45 mins of cardio, where I try to exceed my goal the week before. When I first started I was lucky if I could walk a mile in 30 minutes, now I am up to steady running 2+ miles in less then 30 minutes. The other day I did 3.6 miles total. And then I also do weight strength training. The gym has a program called "Fitlinxx", and it sets up a workout system for you, but I've begun to hit the point where I need to change it up now. I've begun venturing onto the weight room floor, and using their machines, instead of the fitlinxx machines, as they tend to make me feel the resistance more. My body aches today from my work out yesterday. Especially my abs. And I think I might go get some laps in today as well. I like running again, after so many years of not doing it. It is great therapy for my injured knee. And helps out my lungs!

    Good Morning Everyone! I slept well thanks to Niquel! My chest still feels really heavy this morning. I am fighting this chest cold with all I have. I do not have time to be sick! At least it is sunny today and supposed to reach 70. That cold front hits tomorrow and it is supposed to stay in the 30's with freezing rain Monday and Tuesday.

    Sara: Something must be wrong because it does not take that long to get an order. Did you order through beachbody website? Do you have a coach? If I was your coach, I could check on it. I am a coach there and have numbers and people I can call.

    Fairborn: I am so sorry for calling you a girl.... I am embarrassed.... I have been alittle under the weather and my concentration is off alittle bit!

    Jen: No I could not do them at first very well. I got alittle better each time. With the different workouts and muscle confusion, I still get sore but not like I did when I first started. Now I love the soreness because it shows I really worked out hard. What workout out there can you still get muscle soreness after 1 1/2 yrs???? Not many that I know of... On the weight gain issue. I do not step on the scale. I stopped that when I started P90X. I do once in awhile but it is always the same, 142. I am 5'9". My body is happy at that weight. And since I am wearing size 5, I am happy with it too! But, I judged by my clothes getting loose and they just started dropping off. The scale depressed me.

    Shaine: Based on what you do, which is alot, P90X is perfect for you. P90X is not for a person beginning to work out. The program is set up daily 6 days a week and there is no plateau as there is alot of muscle confusion. I suggest you try it! I love it P90X and swear on it!!!

    Well, gotta get to work. I hope everyone has a great day and excellent workout!

    Thanks. I will ask the extern about it. I really don't have the $$ to go buy it myself right now, but maybe she will let me borrow the discs.
    I have been reading on both, and it does state to me that the P90 is for "beginners".
    I've seen my extern come in saying that she's very sore from it, but she should have started the P90, as she hasn't worked out in years.

    All I know is my work out yesterday at the gym, my abs are screaming at me. But that is a good thing!
    My legs have gotten use to the running, as I tend to push the limit when I start running. I watch the time run down, and see where I am at, and push myself to get that 2.5, 2.75, 3.0, etc....

    Thanks for the input! I'll definately look into it! I checked out your photos, and I can only hope to get that much definition myself!

    Sara: Since you ordered from the infomercial, the only thing you can do is call them. It is horrible calling them cause alot of time, they do not speak good English. If you go onto the beachbody website and just sign up for free to join the website and ask them to assign me as your coach (tenaarnett), then I can track your order and contact coach relations and get answers... That is up to you...

    I will tell you that I treasure my P90X and will NEVER lend it out to anyone. In fact, last summer when we had a tornado come through, I grabbed my P90X and took them in the closet with my dogs of course...

    P90X is not for beginners. But it is awesome because I still get soreness and notice new muscles all the time forming... There is no plateau...

    Mornin all!

    Sculpt 1+2 this morning. Moved it to 12 reps. It's still challenging! Oh, and I'll get a 30 minute run in at lunch time.

    Am going to increase my weights and move to Sculpt 3+4 next week to kick everything up a notch!

    Enjoy your day.

    Sara: Since you do not have a beachbody coach let Tena be yours! I love her to death and she is one main reason I am still going! She is there for you for ANYTHING you need! There are days I will email her like 10 times and it does not bother her at all.....Tena is a god sent!

    Shaine: I am doing P90 and I love it! I still can't get through the whole videos and they make you sweat! It all depends on your fitness level really. I love how P90 has steps...You start with P90 then it is P90 Master Series, P90X and now they have P90X+. If you have any questions about P90 Im here!!!

    Paula: Way to go on your workouts! I wish I could move up in weight on Sculpt 3-4 but Im perfectly fine with my 5lbs!

    Some good news I hope I think I figured out what is making me have so many headaches.....the computer! Since I am not working I sit on the computer and talk on msn to all my friends. Today I am going to try and not be on it too long and see what happens.

    I did workout today and I feel amazing now! I am so surprised that I missed 1 workout and actually missed working out I love this life style change!

    I did P90 Sweat 3-4 and Ab Ripper 200. I can't wait for the day I can do the whole video without stopping!

    Well today I am going to clean the house and do laundry YAY don't be jealous! I am also waiting for Barb to call me to help me with my eating!

    Good Afternoon Everyone! Just got back from lunch and I am starting to feel much better. I do not have that tightness in my chest anymore. I broke down and took a sinus pill and have been drinking ALOT of green tea.

    Jenn: I am SUPER proud of you and your workout today! You are doing AWESOME! I hope the computer is what is giving you the headaches. At least that would be something simple to fix. Thank you for your sweet words. As your coach, I feel I must be here whenever you need me. I do not mind the emails at all. I am here to help you succeed and reach your goals as I have.

    Paula: AWESOME job on your workouts! It is such a good feeling when you can raise the weights or reps. Shows how you are progressing and getting so much better. Keep it up!!!

    Well, I have to get back to work.... Have a wonderful afternoon everyone!

    Hey Everyone! Just finished my workout! First I did 10 min Trainer Core Cardio. It was AMAZING! I did the warm up and cool down so it was more than 10 min but that is ok. I burned 160 calories in that workout. Then I did 1 on 1 Yoga and I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that workout! I never thought I would love yoga. It felt sooooo good!! I burned 315 calories in that workout but I feel so refreshed now! Plus it was only 48 minutes long!!!

    Well, time to hit the shower and make some dinner...

    Yoga - Well I attempted that one for P90X and I only made it through 45 min of it until my head was screaming so badly that my vision was blurry.. so I quit. It did help my muslces feel so much better, it really stretched those sore parts and I could actually walk somewhat normal and go up the stairs without grabbing the railing and pulling myslef up them. hehe

    HOw are you feeling today Tena? I think I am starting to get my daughters cold, my throat is killing me and my chest is starting to get a heavy feeling... not a good thing.

    Andrea - Dont worry about the weight, I am right with you, I am up to 156 when I was 154. Very frustrating but I keep telling myself that I am building muscle and that is why I am heavier and maybe all the water retention from being sore doesnt help either.

    Good Morning Everyone! Well I slept pretty good last night since I took that niquel (sp)?? I did have to sleep on the couch because I needed to prop myself up more and Mike was snoring in my face. Let me explain though, I have the most comfortable couch in the world. I just need any little excuse and I am on the couch. I sleep so good there! I feel better this morning. It is still there but I feel like it is going away slowly...

    Jen: I tell you what, I really do not like the P90X Yoga workout! It is waaaay tooo long! That is why I bought the 1 on 1 Yoga Fountain of Youth. It is awesome! It is 48 min long and he does alot of stretches in it. I am so glad I purchased that one. With that one, yoga is back in my weekly routine again! Thanks for asking how I am feeling... I am better but it is not gone yet.

    Tip: Do not obsess about the weight/scale. You need to go by the way your clothes fit, especially on P90X. On P90X with the heavy weightlifting, you build alot of muscle everywhere. Muscle burns fat but weighs more than fat. I am 5'9" and weigh 142. My body is happy and set at 142 and will not budge weight wise but I am wearing a size 5. So, you see what I mean????

    Well, I hope everyone has a great day and excellent workout!!!

    Mornin',

    I'm really enjoying the Cardio 3+4, so glad I moved up to it. Of course my cats have NO idea what's going on :indifferent:

    Got my 30 minute run in yesterday lunch time. The days I do the sculpt I like to get a bit of cardio in as well.

    Will do 2 more workouts (Sat & Sun) and then move to Sculpt 3+4 on Tuesday (Monday will be my rest day).

    I'm sorry to hear some of us are under the weather :sick:

    Hang in there and be good to yourselves! :flowerforyou:

    Hey Everyone! Just finished Legs & Back workout! I had another AWESOME workout! I just love that workout because I feel so strong with all the pull-ups I do! I just feel renewed now! I needed that! I burned 559 calories in that workout! I decided to go ahead and do ARX w/extra abs tomorrow with Kenpo+. I talked to April and she was in full agreement for me not to go to Ashley's skating party tomorrow with this chest cold. We both don't want the kids to catch it...

    Well, gotta finish my Recovery Drink and hit the shower....

    Good Morning Everyone! I have a busy day today. I have to go to the bank this am and just a short trip to Wally to pick up a couple things. Did not sleep to well last night, alot of coughing...But at least it is breaking up. I realized that it is my sinus' that are acting up. I just have to baby them and watch them close. But this morning I feel pretty clear headed... Hopefully it lasts. I plan to do my workout around 1 or 2pm, then shower and get ready for Mike's Awards Banquet tonight. I am so proud of him as he is being recognized as the top recruiter for Spartan School of Aeronautics and gets a school ring with a diamond in it. This will be the first time that I have gotten dressed up in over 2 yrs. At work everyday, I wear blue jeans. No dressing up at all... I will take pictures to share with you all..

    Where is everyone???? Come on people... Are you working out????

    Hey Everyone! Pretty quiet here today! Where is everyone?? Well today is my Rest Day and I did just that. Couldn't have been a better day to rest since my monthly visitor came! Last night was AWESOME! I felt so amazing in my dress! I put in my pics if you want to see it cause I guess we can't post it here like we can on beachbody... I did really good... I did not eat much cause they had prime rib for dinner and it upsets my stomach. I just ate a salad, fresh steamed green beans and a plain baked potatoe. The only bad thing I did was drink a strawberry daquiri. I figure I never drink so what the heck! I was so proud of Mike cause he got 3 awards!

    Well, tomorrow I have Chest & Back and Ab Ripper with extra abs! Hope everyone has a wonderful nights sleep and excellent workout tomorrow!

    Good Morning Everyone! I slept super good last night! I sure needed that! We are all bracing for this ice storm to hit at noon today. It is 20 now with the wind chill in the teens. It is not supposed to get ANY warmer and then the sleet and freezing rain move in around noon and does not stop til 6pm tomorrow! I am very nervous about the drive home today and if I will even be able to get to work tomorrow!

    Tonight I have P90X Chest & Back and Ab Ripper with extra abs...Can't wait. I have my portable dvd player charged up in case we lose electricity so I do not miss a workout! Can you say dedication...

    Welcome Nlongenecker... Best of luck in your fitness journey. Before you know it, you will be doing P90X like me...:wink:

    :smile: hi all.
    what a great weekend! friday i did my workouts and played volleyball at night. sat i had to move some stuff out of my grandmothers house so i did not work out. but i went to see jeff foxsworthy at ceasars casino windsor and it was so funny. we had the buffet but i counted that as my cheat day. sunday i spent most of the day in bed with my hubby until i went to volunteer, unfortunatley there i gave in after and had wendys :cry: but i didn't eat too much sunday so im not going to beat myself up. this morning i started training for a 5km run (i used that paper u gave me jen!) so i have 3 months to become a runner lol. or something close to it!
    I might do my dvds later since i have some extra time today. bye all!

    Hey everyone,

    Thanks for the thread I started power 90 on Jan. 8th. And started my weight loss attempt on the 5th. So far I am down to 244 from 258. I am really happy with that.

    I am really enjoying the Power 90 and am amazed at my progress already in the 3 weeks. The pushups are still a killer for me and still can't do them all but give it everything I can. the 7-7-7's are my nightmare every workout (the close ones are awful). but I have made progress and love seeing my own improvement.

    Thury: Welcome to our thread! Congrats on changing your lifestyle it is awesome! I have been doing P90 since Dec 1 and even to me I can't believe that progress I've made already.

    Andrea: Im still so proud of you, you are doing great and just think about this summer you will be living in your bikini! Also I will be joing you!

    Well Everyone I am back!!!!!!

    I just finished Ab Ripper 200 and Sweat 3-4 and as usual Tony kicked my butt!

    Tena: Thank you so much for suggesting that I do Ab Ripper 200 before my Sweat 3-4 it did help a lot but still can't do all of them but it will come!

    I am also starting to do some eating things that a nutritionist told me to do so also starting that today as well. I just feel like a remotivated person and ready to kick some butt!

    Just also wanted to share with you that after my shower I was putting on my body lotion and I can actually touch the ground with my fingers!!! I was almost able to touch my toes but now I can go past them!!! I was so happy I know it is just a little thing but it is a huge thing in the process!

    Well good luck everyone with your workouts today! :flowerforyou:

    Thank you.

    I have a couple of questions, I see that is must be ok to move to the sweat 3,4 while staying at the sculpt, 1,2. I wasn't sure if I should move on one and not the other.

    Also I have been using the resistance bands, but have been looking at some dumbells. is there some pro/cons to one of these over the other. The only thing I have against the bands is that on some of the full movement lift you dont get much work out of the lower ends of the movements.

    Interested in what you guys have found with that.
